And the story continues~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  | Actually the word "cracker" when referring to a white person has nothing to do with saltines or club crackers...It came from the days of slavery...when they called the slave driver "cracker" because he cracked the whip. So if you get called a cracka...now u will know....lol
